1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the recent purchase of your new SG1000™
Smoke Generator.
The SG1000 allows reghters to conduct training anywhere − no cords required.
Expand your training capabilities to include specialized training scenarios in
locations without power. The SG1000 is ideal for both reghter training and
workplace re safety training.
Fireghters can quickly add smoke to upper oors of your training tower, vehicle
extrication drills and remote locations. The SG1000 also allows training ofcers
to easily add realism to important re safety drills, including evacuation training,
hazard recognition and response training. Because the SG1000 is cordless and
battery operated, it’s ideal for training in locations where electrical power is not
easily accessible or available.
To ensure premium smoke and unit longevity, LION Smoke Generators are
designed to be used only with LION’s specially formulated, water based Smoke
Liquid. Using a LION Smoke Generator and LION Smoke Liquid together will
provide you with the highest quality smoke available.
This user manual describes how to properly operate and maintain the SG1000
for optimal performance.
NOTE
Using smoke liquid other than LION Smoke Liquid, including oil based
smoke liquid, may clog the uid lines and create a hazardous smoke output.
Use of smoke liquid other than LION Smoke Liquid will void the warranty.

2. SPECIFICATIONS
Below is a summary of LION SG1000™capabilities and technical information.
GENERAL
The SG1000 is a smoke machine that consists of a Smoke Generator connected
to a power unit. Two power units are available. The rst power unit is a battery
power base that makes the Smoke Generator portable, allowing you to add
smoke to any location, or even create smoke as you walk around the training site.
The second power unit is a power supply that plugs into wall power. The power
units are attached to the Smoke Generator and can be easily detached by the
user to change an empty battery or to use the wall powered base instead of the
battery pack.
The SG1000 can be used to generate smoke by using the SMOKE button on the
machine, via DMX, via wired remote, or wireless remote.
On the handle of the Smoke Generator there is a SMOKE button and a two-colored
indication LED light (red and green).
At the back are two XLR connectors for the wired remote control or control by
DMX, an ON/OFF button, a CONTINUOUS MODE SELECTOR button and a
density control knob.
Inside a small compartment on the back of the Smoke Generator there are
switches that allow for changing the DMX channel, remote control channel
selection, Remote Control pairing switch and an indicator light that is used
for programming.
The battery in the battery pack utilize Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells.

3.2.1 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BATTERY
Your Battery Base utilizes Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells, replacing the Lithium
Ion battery base for 10 more minutes of run time with no shipping restrictions.
NOTE
If you have already used your SG1000™with a Lithium battery base, you may need
to change the settings on the Smoke Generator or send your SG1000 to LION for
reprogramming. This insert contains information about your Battery Base that is
different from what is included in the main SG1000 manual. Please read,
as you may need to take action before training with your SG1000.
WARNING
READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THESE PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
• Do not connect the positive terminal of the battery to the negative terminal.
• Do not incinerate or mutilate the batteries, this may cause the batteries
to burst and release toxic material.
• Do not expose the battery or charger to water.
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures greater than 120°F (49°C). Store
the Battery Base in a cool dry place between -4°F and 86°F (-20°C and 30°C).
• Avoid using the Battery Base in an airtight compartment. The batteries may
generate hydrogen gas which could cause an explosion if exposed to an
ignition source.
• If the battery makes any noise, becomes excessively hot or leaks, stop use
immediately and contact our customer service team.
• When using the battery for the rst time or after long term storage, fully
charge the battery before use.
• NiMH batteries slowly lose charge while being stored. Charge the battery
immediately before use to get maximum run time. To maximize the life of
your Battery Base, go through at least one use-cycle every three months.
This consists of charging the Battery Base, using it till the battery is
drained and recharging it again.
• The battery should only be charged with the supplied charger.
• The performance of the battery will decrease at low temperatures.
• Should the battery die, please dispose of it properly. Always comply with
local and federal laws or requirements for disposal of electrical equipment
and batteries.
